Included on the 1993 album “Symphony or Damn.” Born in 1962, he is a singer-songwriter from New York State, now performing under the name Sananda Maitreya.

This is a duet featuring British musician Des’ree as a guest vocalist.

The delicate, wistful melody paired with their soulful vocals makes for a wonderfully pleasing track.

Good NightThe Beatles

This is a song included on the Beatles’ double album The Beatles, commonly known as the White Album, released in 1968.

The vocals on this track are by Ringo Starr.

Although he sang lead on very few Beatles songs, this is one of them.

With its beautiful orchestral arrangement, it feels like something that could play over the final scene of a film from Hollywood’s golden age.

Masterpieces of Western Music to Listen to Late at Night (81–90)

My HumpsThe Black Eyed Peas

This is a classic by the Black Eyed Peas, a group that has long reigned in the scene with a style that constantly embraces trends—from a sound rooted in hip-hop and reggae to incorporating electronic dance music.

Though they originally produced hard-edged underground music, their ability to approach the latest styles with high sophistication is remarkable.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to at night.

The Downtown LightsThe Blue Nile

The Blue Nile – The Downtown Lights (Official Audio)
The Downtown LightsThe Blue Nile

The Blue Nile is a band from Scotland, United Kingdom.

“The Downtown Lights” is a track from their 1989 album Hats.

The album’s CD jacket featured a striking image: a black silhouette of a person wearing a hat against a blue background.

Reflecting the mood of that image, the album is filled with introspective atmosphere, and this track is a standout.

Its uniquely soothing, wave-like sway makes it a perfect listen before drifting off to sleep at night.

HonestThe Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers – Honest (Audio)
HonestThe Chainsmokers

A standout track by The Chainsmokers, whose melodic work races headlong in a downer-tinged direction while remaining both hardcore and mainstream.

This comfortable yet commanding nighttime track deepens its world in a profoundly immersive way, setting the perfect mood for late hours.

HumanThe Human League

Included on the 1986 album “Crash.” A three-piece synth-pop band from the UK formed in 1977.

The song’s appeal lies in its beautiful use of space—melodies that make effective use of an airy, almost hollow atmosphere—set against a mid-tempo progression with a slightly hard-edged rhythm.

I think that works well.
